I, think i k now how you feel. I am only eighteen and I have stiff joints. Is that normal?

By the way, I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I have a question about the Department of Operations.

I notice that there is no Newspaper or anything similar in the PPC. Would that job be taken by archivists? If not, would the newspaper, or whatever, fall under the Department of Operations?

As a birthday gift, have this cup of Lapsang Souchong tea. Just don't let the leaves eat you, they don't mind if you're old. Or young. Or in-between.

CAKE FOR EVERYONE!

Three is a lucky number for some, and you've got two of them today.
I hope you had a lucky birthday!

I will be 31 in a few weeks, but I still feel 19. :)

Though for me "I am growing up" moment was when I realized that my dreams started to become realistic and achievable. :)

But hey, happy birthday! You get a miniature TARDIS with flashing lights and sound effects! It's remote-controlled, but all you can make it do is vanish and reappear in different places.

Many happy returns!

you're just getting on in years. Old is a state of mind, not a number!

But enough Serious Business; off to the presents. In lieu of the usual Delibird, have a Present. I made sure that this one was of the non-explosive variety.

*You open the Present. A wave of healing energy washes over you, filling you with renewed vigor.*

I don't recall meeting you, so your present--a replica of Link's iconic hat--doubles as a "Hi, nice to meet you!" gift! Hope you like Legend of Zelda!

Nice to see I'm not the only adult on this board. Anyway, you'll never be old as long as you have a portrait in your attic or a ring in your possession...

And don’t feel old. Six years ago, I was twice the age you were then. (Now somebody may want to do the maths.) As long as we can still become angry about bad fiction, we aren’t (un)dead yet.

I didn't know we allowed the undead on this Board (which you must be, since you're so old, and also I can't actually say that without pointing out that Undeadgoat, PureDeadThingy, and Pippa's Ghost have all been members, so yeah, that was a wildly incorrect statement).

Er... where was I? Oh, yes: blue elf is old(er than me). Happy birthday!

...and I barely feel like it, so I'm right there with you. Heck, I think I was, what, eighteen or so when I joined the PPC? Somewhere around 2008, anyways. It doesn't feel that long.

Also, happy birthday!
